A slanted, brush-pen script with tall, narrow proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with tapered entry/exit strokes and slightly rough, inked edges that suggest fast hand movement. Letterforms alternate between partly connected cursive joins and occasional breaks, giving the line a dynamic, handwritten cadence. Capitals are elongated and gestural, while lowercase forms keep a compact body with long ascenders/descenders and simplified counters for speed and flow. Numerals echo the same calligraphic contrast with slender stems and rounded turns.
Well-suited for short display text such as headlines, posters, social media graphics, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where an informal handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for pull quotes or invitations when set with extra spacing and kept to brief lines.
The font feels personal and energetic, like quick marker lettering used for notes, signage, or social captions. Its dramatic contrast and narrow, upright energy read as confident and contemporary, with a slightly edgy, spontaneous charm rather than formal elegance.
The design appears aimed at delivering a fast, brush-script look with strong contrast and a narrow silhouette, balancing cursive flow with legible, upright shapes for modern display use.
Because the internal spaces and joins can get tight, the face benefits from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing, especially in longer strings. It performs best when allowed to show its stroke texture and contrast at display sizes.
